Welbeck netted a hat-trick against Galatasaray - the first of his career - on Wednesday night.

Boss Wenger was shocked by what he saw and said: "Technically he's very sound. That was a surprise.

"He's technically clean and that he's a good passer of the ball.

"Honestly, I didn't know he was so quick. I knew he was quick but he can be electric when he starts."

But the comments were strange ones for TV pundit Kamara.

He wrote in his Ladbrokes blog: "It surprised me when Arsene Wenger said Danny Welbeck was quicker than he first thought and even more so when he seemed to hint that he wasn’t expecting Danny to make such a quick impact for Arsenal.
